[Q] YouTube Problems on A501 w/ 3.2.1 - Acer Iconia A500

I recently instaleld Acer_A501_4.066.31_COM_GEN1 on my Australian A501. With this or the 4.066.29 provided by Moscow Desire, I cannot play YouTube videos, neither in the browser or in the YouTube app. The app starts but video will not play. This is with a clean install (cache/system/data wipe). I have tried with 3.5.3, 3.5.4 [stock] and 3.5.5 [latest] YouTube app.
Can provide logcat grabs, but it appears the OMX codec (hardware acceleration) for h264 fails to start on the 3.2.1 ROMs. I had the same problem with some regions of 3.2 rom too.
Any tips appreciated, but for now it's back to 4.483.01 for me (YouTube works fine in this w/ any version of YouTube app).

i had a similar problem. im not sure what browser you are using but in dolphin browser go into the settings and change your display from android to computer i think. and should work.... it will use more data so if your on mobile data you will want to change it back to android to save your data.

I'm running 3.2.4, and seems ok here in Moscow. Generally, I don't let any of my apps auto-update, especially the Market App.

So, it's not just youtube. It's anything that tries to use the hardware accelerated h264 codec. MX Video Player in software mode works fine.
There seems to be some issue starting the OMX Codec HW Accel.

Can anyone provide a logcat for playing a YouTube video on 3.2.1? Just from the activity creation including any OMX Codec / nvos* entries.

Bluetooth A2DP bitpool ?

Hi
Any ideas on how to adjust the a2dp bitpool settings. I am coming from windows mobile where this was easy to do in the registry. The stock bitpool seems to be 32 as per the logcat readout below.
W/BTLD ( 1677): ### :: codec open ::
W/BTLD ( 1677): ### mtu 512, 660 bytes/frame, bitrate 229, nbr ch 0, freq 240
W/BTLD ( 1677): ### alloc : 3, blk len 240, chmode:15, bitpool 32:2, subbands 12
the sound is ok but could be better.
Another interesting part of the logcat is:
V/A2dpAudioInterface( 136): setParameters() bt_headset_name=DRC-BT15;bt_headset_nrec=on
E/AudioHardwareQSD( 136): setParameters() bt_headset_name=DRC-BT15;bt_headset_nrec=on
I/AudioHardwareQSD( 136): Using default acoustic parameters (DRC-BT15 not in acoustic database)
(I wonder what the acoustic database is.)
Any suggestions would be welcome. I did search around and found nothing easily implemented. Also nothing on the market.
Thanks

[Q] AudioRecord fails on Galaxy Tab

My code is fairly simple:
Code:
ar = new AudioRecord(AudioSource.MIC,44100,AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO,AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT,16640);
Debug on my Galaxy Tab P1000 outputs:

12-10 15:07:41.335: ERROR/AudioRecord-Java(3980): [ android.media.AudioRecord ] Error code -20 when initializing native AudioRecord object.
I tried various AudioSources, SampleRates, Channels, Encodings, BufferSizes, but it always stops with these errors.
It seems to me that the AudioSource is not transmitted correctly. The tab's "asound.conf" has no "AndroidRecord_Speaker" though it does have an "AndroidRecord_Microphone" which apparantly cannot be accessed by the AudioRecord constructor.
Someone knows at which point the AudioSource ENUM is mapped to the devices in asound.conf?
Or what else might be going wrong?

[Q] Video playback?

Has anyone seen a problem with playing AVI movies? I have tried like 3 different video players (RockPlayer, Mobo, Vplayer Pro) and they all play fine for like 20-30 seconds and playback stops. I've tried this with a few movies and they all seem to do the same thing.
I can't figure out why it does this?
Anyone else seeing the same thing?
Here is some of the logcat output that is shown when the video stops playing with MoboPlayer:

No problems with moboplayer, I get some random FC with VitalPlayer
maybe you can post a media info about your avi file?
I did a wipe and now I'm no longer having the issue.
What kind of wipe? System wipe????
I have watched 5 movies formatted in avi on my a500 using the preloaded nemoplayer and rockplayer.....
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
I had avi playing fine at first. I then did a little rooting, got it set up for ad-hoc support and then got netflix running. Now when i try and play avi files, it tells me it cannot play the file. Tried the novo and the built in video player. did the netflix hack break something?
P.S. i am sorry i am little new to this. so go easy on me lol
yeah mobo player is not as good as everyone says it is. why don't you give it a try to mx player. they have a free version just like mobo and i found their playback to be much less troublesome and greater format support than mobo.
+1 to the post above mine
Rockplayer and Moboplayer and diceplayer have never worked nearly as well as Mx player (at least in my experience). It is totally free, and has hardware decoding as well as two modes of software decoding available. In my experience, it plays everything I have thrown at it.
Is there any new news about playing 720p and 1080p video files on this tablet ?
This is very important for me to make a decision for buying it.

After I hacked the moto libdv??.so file into my system/lib my video and mp3 stopped working... If I copy the original back it all works again... wish there was a way to play netflix without breaking everything =(

Only problem with mx is that you have to tell the program where your video files are. I have a 1tb drive that I use with my acer and when I tell mx to use it it takes forever to load every single video file in my 1tb into a single folder... I much prefer mobo's file browser approach!! Some of my divx avi's didn't play on mx... they all play on mobo (in soft decode mode)
Would you please somebody help me to find out how plays the following video formats on Iconia A500 :
720P - MKV - more than 4Gb ?
720P - MKV - Under 4 Gb ?
720p - MP4 ?
720p - Avi ?
And other video formats .

It all depends on the codecs used. MKV, MP4, AVI, etc are just containers multiplexing the video, audio and subtitle streams. For example I can play an 720p avi fine wth mx player and can't play a 480p avi (both play fine on my laptop with vlc). Anyway if you decide to reencode, I found out that setting the desired file size to 1gb and using 2-pass x264 codecs for the video and 128 kbps aac (mp4 file of course) for the audio gives satisfactory results. Video quality could be bit better but on the other hand I'd prefer to have more videos on it. Reencoding takes quite a while, but since I got the iconia I rarely use my laptop, so it sits quietly in the corner and utilizes it's quad-core cpu

It all depends on the codecs used. MKV, MP4, AVI, etc are just containers multiplexing the video, audio and subtitle streams. For example I can play an 720p avi fine wth mx player and can't play a 480p avi (both play fine on my laptop with vlc).

Thanks for your explanation , Actually I want to use Iconia A500 as a video payer not any more .
As a matter of fact and with regard to your explanation it will not be usefull for playing video file .
Since a large number of my video files are 1280 * 720 or 1280 * 544 with high bit rate in both audio and video I think I have to change my mind for buying Iconia A500 . Am I right ?
so far, i have used the oem players and they dont work for the movies i am trying to load. i.e.: mp4, avi....etc i downloaded mx player and boom. im in business. this is why i like xda and have been here like flies on s**t......lol

Is there any new news about playing 720p and 1080p video files on this tablet ?
This is very important for me to make a decision for buying it.

No tablet currently can play 1080p natively, as no tablet has a resolution of 1080p or higher. IIRC the next Gen Samsung tabs will have a native resolution higher than 1080p.

Testing out _nop_'s HDMI Tool

Hey _nop_!
Posting here as haven't posted enough to be able to post in Android Dev
Had a go testing it, with some somewhat strange results
Firstly, when plugged in to HDMI the touch screen goes a bit crazy! It seems to jitter about the place and do some crazy movements that I'm not doing with my finger - will try to get a video to show it better.
Secondly, the tool seems to sometimes say 'HDMI Connected' and sometimes 'HDMI disconnected' - I can't tell the right sequence to get it to say connected. When it does say connected though hitting HDMI on doesn't seem to do anything. Have attached a log cat that will hopefully help a bit more..
Hi and thank you!
Touch can behave this way due to interference from hdmi cable.
Next, would you try playing native videostream from third-party app like QuickPic with HDMI on?
And hdmi judging from log was successfully enabled:

It's a Sony At least some success.
Now to figure out how to output something to hdmi manually...
Would you run this command in term. emulator with su:
while [ 1 == 1 ]; do cp /dev/graphics/fb0 /dev/graphics/fb1; usleep 100000; done;
(ctrl-c to break, I map vol. up as ctrl in terminal emulator).
What do you mean by native videostream? I tried a few different videos but nothing came up on screen. Is anything supposed to come up on the HDMI tool after I hit HDMI On?
Are you on any IRC channels we could talk this through?
I don't use IRC now.
--
Any recorded video by Streak itself should do.
I can't get the HDMI tool to say HDMI Connected now, although you can see from the attached logcat it is noticing the disconnect/connect. What triggers the tool to say HDMI Connected? Also note it seems to switch orientation to profile when disconnected?
I ssh in over the wifi from putty on my laptop - ran up a shell script of your commands provided - no output on screen though..
Another log cat attached - not sure if it's of any help, but it is of a video taken with camera played through hdmi via the stock Gallery app.
Looks like i need to get dock or make a hdmi connector.
Also, hdmi lib contains three quite simple functions:
isHdmiConnected, enableHdmi, disableHdmi
I simply used them to check.
--
I know it's not that simple.

Also - check "Send to framebuffer" app - it allows to send pics to framebuffer, i wonder does it work.
Hey,
Tried out that Framebuffer - no image, see attached log.

Bluetooth audio issue on Marshmallow

Ever since mm update the bt aptx connection skips/freezes momentarily. I haven't isolated an exact pattern, seems to happen more often in some setups than others. For instance, listening to bt aptx music via Google music play results in often freezes on my both headsets, sennheiser mm400 and telme2. Listening via poweramp however yields less skips but it happens. I am really bothered by this new issue, as I thought, after upgrading to this phone, that I have finally found the perfect bt listening device.
I'd like to know if there's other people affected by this so I can report to Sony, so if you could bother to answer this informal poll, with fw revision, app where this problem occurs and frequency.
Thanks

It doesn't. But it might be not fully related to bt as I had to copy the flac test file from ext sdcard as stock music player didn't like my external storage configuration. Strangely so, cause I'm almost sure it used to work before. How would you force start media scanner?
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
Not sure about media scanning for music,but for pictures there is in album app a media fix that can scan for all the pictures.
Maybe clear data for music app.
It's not related to storage location, I think. I just realized gm was storing its sh1t on internal sdcard. Just changed that. So the skipping/stuttering happens mostly in google music. It also happens in poweramp and gmmp but less frequently, less skipping and less artifacts too. The Google music skipping mostly occurs when using the phone for other tasks such as navigating Tapatalk or typing here. I dunno what to think of stock music player. Don't tell me Sony won't look at this if only happens in third party apps.
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
Maybe stock music has bigger buffer that's why it's not skipping.
Do power amp or google music has some setting to increase the buffer?

Not specific to bt. Poweramp has a bt thread priority that haven't tried yet. However, I'm listening Google music wired, same headset as earlier but wired, no issues.

Hey there. Thanks for creating this thread. I'm on the very same boat.
Z5 dual here, E6683. I tried 'customized RU' and 'customized HK' but both present the very same problems. I tried many things and it does seem like a CPU bound problem but it's still quite random. Sometimes I can listen to music for a while without problems, but then it will start skipping like crazy and you have to stop it. Wired headsets work fine. It's true that seems to happen more on Google Music for me too, but it's happening also but less often on Tune-in or Spotify.
It has been incredibly frustrating. I use bt audio a lot so this makes my device unusable. Sort of fed up at this moment with Sony. It's march now, 6 months after release, and my device is still not working as it should on release day. MM did fix lots of issues thought, but it sort of feels Sony is in perpetual beta with their flagship device.
Mine was doing the same, and often, reboot fixed it pretty much for me
I had the z5 connected to my car bt, listened to google music on my way home, about 30 minutes, no problem whatsoever. But the car bt is not aptx..I am going to look at logcat tomorrow. Anyways, unless more mm z5 owners come forward with this issue it's hard to convince Sony there's a problem at all. And I didn't even see one mention of this on talk.sonymobile forums.

It didn't here. I mean between reboots I'd get smoother streaming for a while, then it's back again to freezing and noise artifacts. I am trying for a while now to find a pattern in this, maybe another app that interferes, something in our setup that causes it. I am close to factory reset and try again, I will take a look at logcat though I don't hope for too much.

I use dayli bt audio and I don't have any issue.. (true only stock music player) (android 6.0)
This has been happening with Android for age's you can find threads on this all over the Internet. But it's hit and miss as to what devices it happens with. I'm my car I don't have any problems with bt skip but in the house from my phone to my Arcam rblink it skips and yes is bothers me too I've tried to isolate what app or what ever it may be in the phone but nothing... and like wise surcingles the Web no one seems to have a fix. Well now I'm on MM I can give up thinking a fix might come in this upgrade.... well it didn't.

It worked perfectly for me in lollipop.
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
It's the issue with the 4G, 2.4G, 5G signal that we commonly encounter , they interfere with the ldac and the aptx bt transmission. Furthermore, what I found is that the freezing issue is highly related to the cpu using and the internet using. Turn your phone into flight mode and left only bt open and check again.
I've noticed a skipping/cutting behaviour when listening through bt in my car. No problem whatsoever when on lollipop but now it's terrible. It's actually in a state where I'm forced to use something else as a source.
Obviously, when the only thing that have changed is the OS version it's easy too assume some kind of bug. Worked flawlessly with my z3 and z5 lollipop.
Marshmallow has been a nightmare so far i terms of audio.

I tried the airplane mode in spite of being a bit skeptic about this: after listening for half an hour I can conclude airplane mode (with bt on) helps, I didn't experience any significant freeze with google music (in offline mode)
This is a logcat main buffer log from INFO onwards, I logged these line every time I had any kind of freeze: of course I missed some lines and especially didn't put down single 'underrun' lines (occurring only one at a time) that didn't seem to impact that much, ie no freezing/stuttering I could easily tell. More 'underrun' lines, the bigger the gap/freeze. Sometimes I tried to trigger the problem by turning the screen on, etc. As you can see, the issue happens fairly often, at least once in 5 minutes.
I intend to create an entry on talk.sonymobile later today where I will resume our collective experience and invite you all to also add your comments over there.
